Testimonial

Dear Dr. Suarez:

Today I called to schedule an appointment with Dr. Suarez and was told she will be out for the next several months. I was very sad because she has been my eye doctor for the last 8 years. She is a wonderful doctor and takes very good care of me and my eyes. I have diabetes and it's a good thing I have her as my eye doctor, otherwise I might be blind. I hope she reads this because I want her to know how much I love and appreciate her compassionate care. God Bless you Dr. Suarez. I'm scheduled to see Dr. Stewart but I look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Sincerely, Joe G.

Thank You

I knew something was wrong and called my eye doctor. After I told him what was going on he immediately called the Eye Center of Texas and told them I needed to see Dr. Suarez ASAP. They were able to get me in that day, and Dr. Suarez did laser on my eye and saved my vision. I didn't know what was going on but it ended up that had a retina detachment and if I had not seen her as soon as I did, I could of lost my vision in my left eye. Not only is Dr. Suarez one of the kindness doctor I've ever met, she is the best! Thank you! Sincerely, Marla D.
